444 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



make for the successful building up of a herd. 



George S. Marshall, Basehor. On Mr. Mar- 

 shall's farm I found eleven good cows and a

 an excellent cow sired by one of his sons. Two 

 are by Clara's Choice by the Choice of All out 

 of imp. Clara 58th. The herd of Loch Bros, 

 has been drawn on for a splendid heifer by Wal-
